c:\inetput\mailroot is missing on recently installed computer with Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation

c:\inetpub is there, but not the subdirectory: mailroot\

I recently installed a new HP server computer with Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation pre-installed.

Should \mailroot\ automatically be installed, or is this a manual step?

It is needed for sending and receiving email to/from the web apps that I'm hosting on the server; web apps written in Visual Basic 2010, etc.

Solution

  • I have my own Windows Server 2008 R2 server and I have no mailroot directory there either. I would assume that this is not an automatically installed component.

    Perhaps How to: Install and Configure SMTP Virtual Servers in IIS will be of some help.
